Hoppity Hop: Fabric Preview

Hello Friends! I have mentioned to you I had been looking forward to sewing again. Check out my latest stash with which I will be working this weekend! I find that orange fly print swatch really brightens up this fun group of fabrics.

Are you currently working with any fun themed fabrics? If so, I would love to hear about them. I know owls were big a while back, and I think they still are. And then, there were the foxes and hedgehogs etc. I wonder if frogs are part of the new trends.

I have got to fly (pun intended, ha!) as I have to make this quilt happen in about 3-4 days!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, my US friends. I shall catch up with you next week.

Ooh such cute fabrics, Wendy
Happy week-end, get to work!!
I love the BUG fabric the best. I want some of that. I would make my dad a placemat, one for mom too, all the colors.
My dad hates bugs! Hahaha

Hi… I’m working with bees right now. I just finished appliquing 16 bees to some blocks I designed. Was I happy to have those done. They were tiny and I cut them out from bee fabric. But the result was cute. I’ve collected bee fabric for a long time and this puts this old UFO near the finish line! Now for the sashing. Woo hoo!

what a great range of fabrics, I am still trying to build up a stash, have a few animals, sewing related ones, lots of flowers and spots and a few in the cookery range, need more plains and have started to collect some batiks, I find batiks very peasing

What great fabrics. I think you are right, the frogs are the next big thing. I worked on a charity baby quilt in flannel “winnie the pooh” this week. It is all washed and crinkly and so soft. I also pulled a UFO out, and have done a poor job of machine quilting it, but called it practice, and now the binding is going on. It is “CUPCAKE and Sprinkles fabric. I love the fabric so much I am keeping it.
